Title
Proposed Maximum Time Limit Zones - 19th Street Public Dock
Recommendation
Public docks have been provided by the City at various locations throughout the Harbor, for the purpose of loading and unloading passengers, supplies, boating gear, short-term mooring and similar purposes. It is the policy of the City to maintain such facilities in a manner that will permit the greatest public use and avoid continuous occupancy, congestion or blocking thereof. Where necessary to achieve this objective, the Harbormaster is authorized and directed to post dock markings or signs limiting the time during which a vessel may be tied up or secured.
To advance this objective, the Harbor Department is recommending reassignment of various sections of dock, with the objective of improving overall utilization of the available dock space, consistent with the City’s policy.
Recommendation:
1) Find this action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
2) Approve staff recommendation to reassign the proposed maximum allowable time period for vessels to occupy sections of the 19th Street Public Dock as shown on Attachment A.
